Neurocognitive Mechanisms of Learning to Read: Print Tuning in Beginning Readers Related to Word-Reading Fluency and Semantics but Not Phonology
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Eberhard-Moscicka, Aleksandra K.; Jost, Lea B.; Raith, Margit; Maurer, Urs – Developmental Science, 2015
During reading acquisition children learn to recognize orthographic stimuli and link them to phonology and semantics. The present study investigated neurocognitive processes of learning to read after one year of schooling. We aimed to elucidate the cognitive processes underlying neural tuning for print that has been shown to play an important role…

Anastasiow, Nicholas – 1970
Research findings concerned with the relationship between the child's oral language behavior and learning to read are described. A cognitive-biological approach to the child's perceptual system development is taken, and data are presented to support both the developmental point of view of language development and the point of view that the child…

Assessment of Three-and-a-Half-Year-Old Children's Emerging Phonological Awareness in a Computer Animation Context.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Puolakanaho, Anne; Poikkeus, Anna-Maija; Ahonen, Timo; Tolvanen, Asko; Lyytinen, Heikki – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2003
Four computer-animated tasks were created to analyze the underlying structure of emerging phonological awareness at 3.5 years of age and to explore factors that influence children's (n=91) performance. The children were able to master tasks demanding identification, blending, and continuation of phonological units. Analysis supported two major…

Effects of Phonological Impairment on Word, Syllable, and Phoneme Segmentation and Reading.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Webster, Penelope E.; Plante, Amy Solomon – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 1992
This study compared the phonological awareness ability of 11 children (ages 6-8) with persistent phonological impairment to that of 11 phonologically normal children. Phonologically normal children scored higher on three of the four phonological awareness measures, with no differences on word recognition. Speech intelligibility was a significant…

Weed, Keri; Ryan, Ellen Bouchard – 1982
In a study that investigated differences in the processing styles of beginning readers, a Pictograph Sentence Memory Test (PSMT) was administered to first and second grade students to determine their processing style as well as to assess instructional effects. Based on their responses to the PSMT, the children were classified as either visual or…

Prediction of End-Of-Year Reading Achievement for First and Third Grade Pupils.
Gruen, Ronald Steven – 1971
This study was designed to select and explore a research battery which, when administered at the beginning of the school year, more adequately predicts end of year reading achievement than have previously-used tests and test batteries. The tests used were perceptual-motor and cognitive-intellectual, with the most adequate predictor tests…
